A mansion in heaven, for me? Even if my place in heaven was a 9 foot by 15 foot room, it would be enough for me. All i want is to be with Jesus , wealth means nothing to me, here or there. Just imagine, seeing him in his glorified state- and us being glorified with him, nevermore to sin, feel pain, or die.
Jesus Christ went to the cross and now lives to set sinful us free from death and eternal condemnation. Repent and turn your heart to Him before it's too late. If He's calling your heart today, say yes! But count the cost--it will cost you everything, but the rewards are real and worthy.
Imagine having Jesus say to you it was better for you to not have born. When He physically paid for your soul. That is the most damning thing I’ve ever heard.
He only said that *about* Judas. He couldn't say it *to* him, because Judas had already killed himself before Jesus was crucified. If Judas had believed more in Jesus' purpose than his own guilt, he could've come to Christ after his betrayal and been forgiven.
@@aaronwalcott513 I don’t think he could have been forgiven. Once he committed that Treachery. That’s Blasphemy. Betrayal. He took his life rightfully so. As sad as this whole situation is. It would have been better he hadn’t been born.
Doesnt really matter what you think. You are basically saying there are limits to Christ's forgiveness. "As sad as this whole situation is. It would have been better he hadn’t been born." Were you trying to be poetic here ? What does that even mean ? If he hadn't been born, would Jesus still be crucified, would we be able to have the gift of eternal life ? If someone else betrayed Him, what then, we will go into the same cycle of questions ? And the answer is that we do not know and can't possibly know. @@bigzachful
I try to but have no clue how to do it or if I have been or not. I try and say my prayers and pray for others, even strangers. I know I sin daily though and am flawed. Anyways I pray that God helps us both out and that Jesus forgives us and purifies us for the Father. Hope that we are healed physically and mentally and spiritually. 🙏
@@HAL--ov4qutalk to jesus the same way you would talk to another person cause he also is a living God he hears , ask him to lead your prayers cause he is an intercessor and then just let your heart out and tell him about your sins and failures exactly as they are , and let go of everything that’s leading you to sin whether its friends, family or whatever cause he says in a scripture “if your hand is causing you to sin cut it off.” Therefore you must be ready to cut off everything that could lead you to temptation
They are forgiven but we never stop sinning in this life. The battle against the flesh will continue until we receive glorified bodies in heaven. We sin far more than we realize. It's not just what we do, it's things we're supposed to do and don't. We are always falling short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
Then you haven't read your Bible. It absolutely has bounds, conditions, and is not endless. People being condemned to hell alone should be enough proof of that but simply read the book of Job.
It’s almost like when pharaoh refused to let Israel leave. As we read he kept Hardening his heart. Then we read later that his gear was harden byGod and God allowed/did this to display his power
Remember the purpose of the sacrifice. It isnt because of your goodness, but because God is good, kind, and rich in mercy. We owe God nothing for His gift of grace, but for the regenerated believer, God's love will drive us to holy living, not that we will never sin, but that we confess our sins and turn from them. Just be careful to not allow your works to be your idol. We dont do good because we are good, but rather we do good because God is good. I hope these words help. May the peace and love of God be with you always
Peter and Judas both represent falling short, and yet one goes to Christ for forgiveness, the other tries to return the silver to the pharisee and is scoffed at because it's blood money. One is faith, the other is works. Both I believe regretted denying/betraying Jesus, only one had faith and was restored.
Let's not forget about Peter, who betrayed Jesus 3 times in a row. The difference being that Peter repented and trusted Jesus for forgiveness, Judas did not, that's why he killed himself. He didn't trust that God would forgive him, when the reality is, he will forgive anyone who calls in his name and confess their sins❤
Pretty easy to judge from the cheap seats.... Judas had the same messianic view the pharisee's had they believed the Messiah was the ruling king who would establish his throne on earth and restore Isreal. We can see this plainly when the disciples would openly ask him when he would set up his kingdom. NO ONE of them understood what Messiah was telling them and Peter actively argued with Christ concerning his sacrifice. In fact Yeshua rebuked Peter for saying that. It was ordained from the very begining (the begining of creation) that Judas would do what he did. I dont pretend to know the intimate details of those born who have a divine destiny that they will play out. In some ways those few dont have the same level of "free will" that the rest of us have. I for one have FAR too much on my own sinful plate to bother looking at another person alive today or who are spoken about in scripture. Paul in his letter to the Philippians says "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13for it is God who is at work in you, both to [j]desire and to work for His good pleasure." We are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling... Which is another way to say, you have no place to judge another and esteem yourself as your brother or sisters betters. Your (and my of course) righteousness no matter how mature your walk is, is but FILTHY RAGS compare with Gods Standard of holiness. For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Lord Jesus light shineth through our eyes, burning every type of unholiness off our minds, and the word of truth leadus into righteousness and holiness surrounding you, having angels looking over you around-the-clock.. In Jesus' name ✨️
Amen Amen! May those that are in the dark or those who are slipping into darkness. Hear and feel God's Love for them. May God Save Protect and Guide all those who he calls his. Make it into God's New Kingdom of Love Happiness and most of all Pure Joy. Forever and Ever. God Bless every person who finds this.
Hi, I hope God blesses you, your family and friends. I hope he gives you health of mind and body. In Jesus name, Amen. I hope someone can pray for me, I could really use some of the Lords healing. Have a nice week fellow person. 🙏
this is how he can understand when we get betrayed by our friends .....love how God did this for us ! Judah thought that JESUS was going to bring the angels down to kill the romans.....not knowing Jesus wasn't going to do it!! he gave his self for us!! (force Jesus hands)!! some of us are judas we know the truth and yet still do what we want....
Ok, when Peter was against what Jesus said about his death; Jesus followed up in MATTHEW 16:23 by saying "Get away from me Satan". I'm assuming that was Jesus' way of saying this is the way it supposed to happen. Sounds like to me that Judas was in a predestined situation that had to be. Think about it, if Jesus told Satan to "get away him" when Peter was speaking against the will of Gods plan, wouldn't Judas' rejection of God's plan be denounced by Jesus if Peter would have done anything other than betray him? I feel Peter is being destroyed for playing a card that was dealt to him and it's not fair. Isn't it said that heaven and earth will perish before God go back on his word? Jesus spoke of Peter's actions before home did it which comes off as predestined.
So the way it sounds to me is when Jesus says "Get away from me Satan" it is more or less Jesus saying we are not going to do things your way we are going to do them my way and saying Judas was predestined to do what he did would be called fatalism or the belief that all events are predetermined and inevitable the thing is though that GOD/Jesus/ The Holy Spirit gave us all free will to what we want to do so fatalism gets shut down right there because you can't have free will if you are all ready being made to do something yet God knowing what Judas would do before Judas did is still not fatalism because knowing something is not fate it is knowledge@@itachihyuga7553
I am thankful JESUS is the judge. One thing I do know is we are all guilty. Surely if we sin after knowing Christ that too is a betrayal of his grace. We’re all utterly dependent on Gods mercy and grace through the shed blood of Jesus. Christ is our only hope for salvation and our only righteousness. I don’t know if Judas repented or what Jesus will decide on judgment day. But I do know we have all failed Jesus and at times betrayed him for a personal agenda, so all our hope is in Christ the mercy of GOD.
Because of the place he will spend eternity in. Nothing that has ever happened on earth comes close to what hell is like. I think that counts for the majority of mankind. Better to have not been born.
Jesus said Judas "was not saved to begin with." With that statement, makes it clear why he'd say this, but it was to also help us understand how sinful nature is and that not being born is better than forfeiting our soul for the world.
If that's the case, how is it logical to create said person to be born to begin with? Wouldn't you be doing the person a favor if there is infinite knowledge they would suffer a fate worse then death or become evil, especially since it castastrophically effects the entire human race? Just like with Hitler as an example.
Jesus came to fulfill scriptures.Judas also fulfilled scripture. In one of them in psalms the writer condemned the betrayer to hell. Jesus warned Judas over and over and really Jesus could not force Judas to change his heart. Scripture tells what’s going to happen it doesn’t make what’s going to happen. Judas was a thief and a deceiver and probably lived for only this world. A lot of people when things don’t work out the way they want they just kill themselves . We all have a free will.serve God or serve the devil. I choose to Love God and I serve Him because of Love,not fear. Perfect Love cast out fear . Be you perfect as God is Perfect . When you receive Christ as your savior God the Father puts His Spirit in you. His Spirit is Perfect,Now you are the Temple of God. Christ in you the hope of glory.
I'm thoroughly confused by this. Why would that be said about Judas not being born when the betrayal was required for Jesus to fulfill his mission? If it was said he should have never been born, then why was he born in the first place? If Judas was supposed to turn Jesus in which led to the crucifixion, then why say that??? I would hope that Jesus/God one and the same already knew that was going to happen and was designed to happen to save the rest of us. I hope someone can help me understand because I'm disturbed by this. I understand it hurt Jesus emotionally, however, I thought the betrayal has given humanity the opportunity to be saved. Sorry if I seem dumb, im new to the word.
For Judas to have been pretty much at Ground Zero for the miracles of Jesus and still reject him seems like not only a physical thing that happened but a lesson to be learned when we are selves are up front and seeing God's glory and miracles that he's done for a lot of us whether it be through a family members healing or a child being born or anything and then we turn our back on God and go the other way or do something bad and wind up hurting Our Father this is pretty much a living experience of that failure as mankind . We have all done it in one way or another, this is the first time I think I've ever seen it this way. I appreciate these videos really opens your mind to the lessons that are being taught in the Bible not just the ones that are easily seen But the hidden ones as well.
Judas totally believed that he was the son of God. Judas unfortunately was looking for the conquering warrior king (the returning of Messiah at the end of the age.) and did not hear/believe that he had come to be the eternal passover lamb. His actions were meant to force Yeshua to assert his kingly throne and rule over the world. There is no way you could spend all that time and see all of those miracles and NOT believe. God new from the conception of creation that this was the reason for Judas existence (why he was born) God new with 100% certainty that Judas would do what he did. Judas motive WASNT to get Yeshua nailed to the cross, it was to "force or manipulate" Yeshua into over throwing Roman rule and re establish the throne of David as prophecied in several old testiment prophecies. NONE of them, NOT ONE, saw what was about to happen... They all fled. As scripture declares like sheep they have all gone astray.
It has never been more important than now to find the Almighty through the acceptance, sacrifice and love of Jesus. The end of days is near. Prophecy is playing out in real time all around you. Don’t be fooled by the false prophets, and never deny his name. Read the Bible and serve God’s purpose for you in this world.
Don't feel bad, he is on earth with Jesus and they are besties. But Jesus is very busy breaking seals and getting prepared for the armageddom and can't hang out, call or text
Thank you for this eye-opening and insightful video of Judas Iscariot:s betrayal of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Indeed, Jesus must have been deeply hurt not only by this act of betrayal but also by having to pronounce doom upon Judas Iscariot. May this message serve as a warning against the danger of rejecting Jesus Christ and His love for all mankind.
Judus was waiting for the conquering king messiah that all Jews were waiting for. When Jesus proved that it wasn't his mission many were disappointed to say the least.
The irony of it all is that if no-one had betrayed Christ to ultimate crucifixion, salvation for all the world would never have happened. SOMEONE needed to fill that roll, but woe to the man who did. That’s about as ironic as it gets, and it’s a bit of a conundrum.
Absolutely, it is the ying and yang type of thing. Light and dark are needed to appreciate their differences. The issue is we lack understanding of the exact meaning of events.
The crazy thing is I don't know if I have betrayed Him or not in all the years of my life, I am just so confused. I have been angry at God before, but I always keep returning to Him, but are there too many times that The Father will reject me for my anger?
The LORD Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Consider His words in John 6:37. When Jesus is talking about the bread of heaven, He says that all those who hunger after the bread of heaven He will NEVER drive away. We often times feel hard at God for not giving us what we want or for doing what we want. In 2 Corinthians when Paul was tormented he prayed to the LORD to take away his suffering. The LORD merely replied, “my grace is sufficient for you”. Sometimes we go through trials and tribulations in order for God to demonstrate His wonder working power in miraculous ways. Coming back to Him is exactly what He wishes for you to do and to look to the LORD Jesus for strength. Consider also the words of David in Psalms 3:5. ”Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.“ Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV Whenever you feel like giving up or if you feel like God has abandoned you, remember these words always.
Doesnt scripture declare... BE ANGRY but do not sin. Do you or would you punish a 4 year old because he or she is mad at you? Of course not! You as an adult know that the child does not understand the situation like you do and in fact you may privately laugh at their anger not mockingly but because they do not understand or see what you see and your job as a father is to love and protect them. God is INFINATELY more loving and merciful than you or I could ever be!
I’m just asking, but mustn’t the betrayal take place In order to for prophesy to unfold? Are would that be referring it could’ve happened a different way?
For those wondering about predetermination, it's a serious question and mental gymnastic, but put simply just because God knew Judas would betray Jesus doesn't mean he created him to. Judas made his own choice through his own life, God simply used the opportunity to fulfill his plan. Whether you are going to hell or not is up to you and it's up to you now whether God knows that you will be with him or not. There is no predetermination except for what you predetermine for your own eternal life. And the knowledge that God has about it is simply a given for the all powerful all knowing. Thought this might help someone. I use to struggle with the concept because of the hypothetical idea that if we could pin point an atom in space we could calculate it's future course, essentially predicting the future. Don't be confused about it though, that's not yet scientifically possible and even if it were we are given free will to make that choice for ourselves. Changing the course of our future. Maybe that's the true miracle and power of our spirit and the Will God allowed us to have for ourselves. Imagine that every moment and decision you make is actually shaping your eternity. Far out, man.
It would be better for any person that has to endure eternal torture after this life to have never been born. DUH! That line is also in The Book of Enoch and The Shepherd of Hermas, though those didn't make the cut at the Council of Nicea.
BECAUSE I KINOW IN MY HEART THAT JESUS THE ONLY ONE BEING HURT . IF YOU WERE IN THE POSITION THEY YOU WOULD SAID SO BECASUE HE DO EVIL . SAMOK KAY NG DAUTAN UY LAGOT . AMEN
Now I've always wondered about Judas in the fact that was he appointed to be that guy by divine intervention or was he chosen randomly. And I don't mean like Jesus just chose him out of a group of people I owe any meenie miney moe, I mean was there a possibility that someone else would have done the same thing as Judas or was this his role in Destiny to fulfill? Now I understand why Jesus would say it would have been better for him never to have been born because the idea that he may have been chosen to be that guy for that particular role no matter where he went in his life it was going to lead him back to that same thing is it possible that he could have been someone else? Meaning did he have the chance to believe in Jesus wholly- or was he like sent by Satan? Was he corrupted by Satan or was it just the law of man perpetuated by the Jewish leaders and the Sadducees and Pharisees? Was he stuck under the law of man or was he chosen by something evil or divine
What bothers me about this though is Jesus knew from the get that Judas would betray him but he still kept him close. So again was this a Divine appointment that he was chosen for or was it from evil? If it was from evil God or Jesus you would think would have distanced himself from this man. He knew what was going to happen before he ever met Judas face to face. So other than fulfilling prophecy what would the point of keeping this man close by be? Truly I would like to get a reply on this because I know I comment on a lot of these videos and never get any kind of answer. If anybody out there has any kind of outlook on this please inform me let me learn something or at least to see it from a different perspective
Yes. Some who are born have a divine destiny. Yeshua said that John the Baptist "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Call it divine appointment or destiny but there are a handful of people that were born predestined to play the role they are annoited with.
I agree with the spirit of what you're saying in general, yet I also disagree that this sin is more catastrophic a sin than original sin itself. I would argue that that is the most catastrophic sin ever committed. It was original sin which necessitated not only the Crucifixion, but Judas' betrayal. How can any sin be more catastrophic than that?
Judas Iscariot, is an example of when one chooses to commit a crime against The Holy Spirit in persona of Jesus The Christ. Without Judas Iscariot, the price of Death would not have been paid.
I am a Christian but I simply cannot imagine that Jesus took these words ("it would be better for him not to be born") literally. I mean, how could God let someone be born if it was better for him not to be born? Would it not be cruelty, even towards someone who is so much affected by evil? I think that as Jesus usally exaggerated his words (for example "if your hand causes you to sin, cut it", or when he talked about the yeast of the Pharisees), this also cannot be a literal statement. He only wanted to say: it will be very bad for Judas if he does this, but it doesn't mean that Judas cannot be forgiven after it. I am not a theologist though, this is just my opinion.
Great question! Jesus' death and resurrection offer salvation to anyone who believes. If you truly believe he died for your sin, and that he rose from the dead, then you needn't be responsible for your own sins any longer. Romans 10:9 says 'If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.' Declaring him as Lord means he is YOUR Lord, as well. So you are committing to study and follow his teachings. If you mean it sincerely, then Jesus' death removes all your sin and you become a new person in Christ. As it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" Once you are reborn in Christ, your sin is dealt with, forever. Romans 8:1 tells us: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" Jesus did die for your sins, so put your faith in him and that debt is paid. God bless!
The statement you are referring to comes from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus says to Judas, "The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born" (Matthew 26:24). Jesus made this statement because he knew that Judas would betray him. He was aware of the tremendous consequences of betrayal, not only for himself but also for Judas. By saying that it would have been better for Judas if he had not been born, Jesus was expressing the severity of the betrayal and the resulting consequences for Judas's soul. It was a strong statement meant to emphasize the gravity of Judas's actions and the eternal consequences of his betrayal.
One thing I don't get - If Judas was bound and determined to betray Christ, then why did he have remorse afterward? Maybe he was trying to force Christ's hand into throwing off the yoke of Rome and being the universal King of Israel?
Bingo too Judas like other betrayers when setting a person up ,actually grow to truly feel love for the person. Who's being menevolent... That's why it's deep. As we never know the consequences
Here is a great example for those who believe that Hell doesn't exist. Otherwise why would Jesus say its better that Judas had not been born?? What will his punishment be if there is no Hell?
🚨POSSIBLE TRIGGER ALERT🚨 Ok, when Peter was against what Jesus said about his death; Jesus followed up in MATTHEW 16:23 by saying “Get away from me Satan”. I’m assuming that was Jesus’ way of saying this is the way it supposed to happen. Sounds like to me that Judas was in a predestined situation that had to be. Think about it, if Jesus told Satan to “get away him” when Peter was speaking against the will of Gods plan, wouldn’t Judas’ rejection of God’s plan be denounced by Jesus if Peter would have done anything other than betray him? I feel Peter is being destroyed for playing a card that was dealt to him and it’s not fair. Isn’t it said that heaven and earth will perish before God go back on his word? Jesus spoke of Peter’s actions before home did it which comes off as predestined. I am definitely opened to others opinions if you care to correct me on my thoughts on this matter.
Proverbs 16:4 - "The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble." Everything is planned by God even before the beginning of creation. By the verse that I put above, I know that it fully satisfies your question and that you're intelligent to understand it. Spend more time with God(prayer, reading the bible) and you will found more mysteries and revelations.
I believe Judas had many chances to repent or go to Jesus and tell what was in his heart, Jesus knew from the start that Judas would not repent even though he had oppertunity many times, God gives a free will., I think money, greed was in Judas heart and unfortunitly satan had him. Peter loved Jesus but was ignorant in what God"s plan was - Jesus dying on the cross. Peter loved Jesus and would not allow Jesus to be crucified in his carnal mind, remember he cut the roman soldier"s ear off in the garden., I Do not believe in the calvinist theory . As peter repented , i believe Judas could had before it was too late.
@@MrTnewell we don’t know what Judah’s thoughts were. After all, he did throw the money back at the priest out of regrets. For all we know, he asked God for forgiveness within his thoughts & heart. My question to you is, can you alter God’s plan? I’ll wait…
We can only perceive this as a story or lesson if that is true. That time is past. Most likely none of us knows why we are in 2024 and that is a good question why nobody remembers anything.
If you listened to this and thought to yourself, “man I’m glad I’m not Judas” you better look in the mirror and realize that you are NO DIFFERENT than Judas! We all have betrayed him! Jesus isn’t a petty man child like us, he will forgive us all if we just believe in him!
*Let's use the power of our collective thoughts to manifest a world filled with positivity, prosperity, and harmony. 🌎🌟💫 If you believe in this vision, tap 'like' and let's make it a reality together!*
He probably said that because he loved him but he betrayed him so it probably hurt him so very bad that just like other humans because jesus was half human dont forget but he had feelings too however he sacraficed everything because it was more important so like i said just like other people it probably was just a feeling at the time he said it.
Do you think Judas was the first man saved by Jesus" sacrifice? I'm wondering because at the Last Supper it says when Judas dipped his bread simultaneously with Jesus that Satan entered in to him. The Holy Spirit had not yet come to dwell in men so Satan was able to enter in to him so it was Satan that betrayed Jesus, not Judas. Was Judas possessed? Judas was obviously repententant because he hung himself and the 30 pieces of silver lay at his feet. If Judas was truly in grief over his (?) actions, then why wouldn't Jesus save him? There is no sin outside the rejection of Christ that cannot be forgiven. Just a thought. Just read the comments. There are too many hateful Christians here. What happened to forgive them they know not what they do. And also for your information, the Jews did not kill Jesus, nor the Romans, it was God the Father and Jesus went willingly to the cross for all of us. Don't let unforgiveness keep you out of the kingdom. As you forgive so will you be forgiven. The worst words a person could ever hear is, "I never knew you"!!
If Judas hadn't been born, he couldn't have ended up in hell. Surprisingly, if Judas had come to Jesus and repented after he sold Him out, he could've been forgiven. This shows us that remorse is not enough for atonement. Repentance is needed to access the finished work of Jesus Christ.
If Judas was born for this destiny no matter what does that mean that God creates evil men who are destined for hell? I'm just asking an honest question I'm not looking for any kind of negativity but this is something that I'm sure a lot of us have wondered at some point or another and the story of Judas really puts a spotlight on the whole idea around that. Someone the other day had told me something about how God has created hell for wicked men but God created hell for Satan and sin that doesn't mean that God created wicked men to go straight to hell with no chance of knowing him and changing their entire life
Even if Judas had never been born it would have been someone else though right? The prophecy has to be fulfilled so how else would it happen or would it have happened? I'm not trying to justify Judas in any way I'm just trying to understand
Well if Jesus said it would be better if he had never been born, it must not be good for him. But by doing what he did caused scripture to come to pass and thereby saving many souls who will receive Him as LORD and SAVIOR.
My problem with Judas. At the end of the day it was written that Jesus would die. Judas betrayal was meant to happen, he did was God told us that needed to happen. His actions was part of God's plans.
It was bound to happen either way, but for it to be Judas, one of His disciples made it 100x worse not just for Judas but for Jesus too because He loved Judas.
God's plan did not depend on someone betraying Jesus. The Sanhedrin could have come up with a number of different plans. Jesus could have been taken at one of the times he was alone in prayer. He could have been taken on a lonely road. It was foretold that Judas would betray him because God knows everything that will happen. That doesn't mean Judas was forced to do it.
Another thing to look at here that is both truth as it is fact: 1: Jesus is the one who prepared hell for the devil and his angels were judas through sin chose as his eternal lot. 2:
I remember somebody teaching me Judas was only born for that reason and that’s really his hidden story lore he’s still out here his spirit in other ppl so when someone betrays you know it’s all they waited to do so pathetic and a cowards way to feel important it wasn’t about the silver he wanted to feel important and be remembered like Jesus that was his true sin
If not Judas, who then? Someone had to do it for Jesus to die for our sins. Jesus Christ came from heaven to die for our sins in the manner that he did as it was intended by God. Am I missing something here?
I actually have studied this quite a bit, and I really have a sneaking suspicion that the verse that you're speaking of here, was Rewritten into the Bible by some scribe somewhere. Nowhere in the original writing does it say that Judas actually betrayed jesus, the word you says that he turned him over. The other problem you have is that the explanation of how he died by Falling onto these rocks that split him apart, does not wash with what we know about the place that it's supposedly happened and the actual physical reality of somebody who would have fallen there. For him to be split open, somebody would have had to kill him. Murder him. And if he had made an agreement with the Pharisees and sadducees, those that actually were instrumental in the murder of Jesus christ, even though he rose again, it is clear that they put him on the cross on wednesday, not friday, because the very first comment on the very first holy day of that week came at the end of the day that he was crucified on and that would have been wednesday. Because the Passover High holy day was on Thursday. Friday was not a holy day and Saturday was and that would have put him in the grave three full days and three full nights precisely as Christ implied that he would be in the grave just like Judas was in the whale for 3 days and just like Joseph with his in the hole in the ground for three full days.
So your saying he was predestined to do it. Meaning we don’t make our own choices free will then… That’s not the case. Jesus was going to have it happen irregardless because many people wanted him dead. He knew he was going to be out to death
@@bigzachfulmy man, yes of course there’s free will. But also does not God know all things? Was it not Paul that states we were predestined before the world? Was it not God who purposely harden the king of Egypt so his mighty works could be displayed? Yes there is a choice as humans we have. But like you mentioned if it wasn’t Judas then it would have been another human to turn Christ in. All I’m saying is there had to be a hitler a Alexander the Great, etc
I think of world affairs God son assigned alpha omega human freewily take position probable Nature's, yet Father eternally of causes outcomes make afresh?! Job said same at his affliction.
As God himself Jesus Christ could look inside of the spirit of every man he purposely chose to be one of his disciples and when he looked inside of Judas what he saw was a man who really would only ever love himself and riches! Jesus knew that Judas love for himself and riches would easily cause him to yield to the devil and do his will to sellout Jesus for what he loved the most which was money at the right appointed time and place! Judas went to Hell because he had a choice to betray Jesus and his choice was to show the Lord Jesus Christ that despite his offer of Salvation that Judas would rather serve Satan and get blood money he knew meant would cost an innocent Jesus Christ his life! That's why it was better for him to have never been born because it wasn't just a regular innocent man that he chose to betray and caused to die! Here is the controversy: There are those who believe that Judas was always doomed from birth and that he was specifically created to do what he did and betray Jesus? The truth is no man is born simply to be destroyed in Hell. When Jesus Christ looked in of every disciple through the eyes of God he saw men who would love him, serve him, and give all for him, except one guy and that guy was Judas! Judas was a guy that only loved himself and he only cared about himself coming up and getting wealth and nothing or nobody could come between that self love! Not even if God himself stood before Judas bestowing all the eternal love in Heaven and depended upon Judas to love him back even God himself couldn't compete with Judas love for himself and money! THIS IS THE VERY REASON WHY JUDAS WAS CHOSEN! Judas was specifically chosen for his selfishness and his love of money and the specific fact that at the end of the day no matter what Salvation in eternity Jesus Christ was offering that Judas selfishness and his love for money would be Judas choice over Jesus and Jesus needed to use that in order to get to his appointment on the cross when the time came! That's why Jesus never called him out on stealing the offering money! (On a side note this is the same reason why it looks like God doesn't have a problem with these filthy rich mega church preachers being worth mega millions while there are people sitting in their ministries in utter poverty because they serve a greater purpose as they they choose to STEAL FROM GOD and at the appointed time they will receive their reward!) So again Judas was put on the team because Jesus Christ could see his character and unlike any of the other's Judas was the only man with a cutthroat mentality ans Jesus needed a cutthroat who would choose to stay a cutthroat and stab him in the back when the time came!
The immense suffering in the lake of fire (hell) is horrible. Various levels in hell based on one’s sins is horrible but necessary due to judgement severity. And any length of time in hell is going to be horrible. But unending torment is not so and not justified. Judas will suffer immensely, and more than most because he gave up the most valuable person in the universe to be slain, God the Father’s Son. But like sinners, sin and Satan, at some point must be fully consumed and will be ashes underneath our feet. Malachi 4:3. Satan and his followers (root and branch) will be consumed in the lake of fire (oven) and become as stubble Malachi 4:1. Lessening what Jesus had to say (warn) about hell is not good, because it’s terrible but let’s not throw shade at Jesus and God the Father’s character by claiming our Elohim’s have made a place for unending torture. Who could live in Heaven knowing that their family is going to be tormented for an unending time period? Where is the Justice the promised? The soul that continues to Sin, will eventually die the second death, as it is written.
If Christ's sacrifice was long prophesied, then Why "shoot the messenger?" Somebody had to do it, right ? What if no-one had betrayed Christ ? That's a good question.
God's plan did not depend on someone betraying Jesus. The Sanhedrin could have come up with a number of different plans. Jesus could have been taken at one of the times he was alone in prayer. He could have been taken on a lonely road. It was foretold that Judas would betray him because God knows everything that will happen. That doesn't mean Judas was forced to do it.
Taking artistic liberties and giving Judas glowing ears 😄 It is possible to make quality videos that people will watch without giving characters fictional piercing red eyes (example) or glowing ears 😆
Because had Judas repented for his betrayal and asked for forgiveness, he would have received forgiveness from his sins and been able to see eternal life in paradise, he should not have committed suicide, but sought forgiveness. Judas played the role that was needed to be played.
A mansion in heaven, for me? Even if my place in heaven was a 9 foot by 15 foot room, it would be enough for me. All i want is to be with Jesus , wealth means nothing to me, here or there. Just imagine, seeing him in his glorified state- and us being glorified with him, nevermore to sin, feel pain, or die.
Paradise
Actually, the word for mansion there is closer to "room," so that 9x15 isn't far off.

Jesus Christ went to the cross and now lives to set sinful us free from death and eternal condemnation. Repent and turn your heart to Him before it's too late. If He's calling your heart today, say yes! But count the cost--it will cost you everything, but the rewards are real and worthy.
😮
It cost Jesus everything. Thank You Lord 🙏🏻
Imagine having Jesus say to you it was better for you to not have born. When He physically paid for your soul. That is the most damning thing I’ve ever heard.
I’d forfeit the rest of my life for a chance to redemption.
He only said that *about* Judas. He couldn't say it *to* him, because Judas had already killed himself before Jesus was crucified. If Judas had believed more in Jesus' purpose than his own guilt, he could've come to Christ after his betrayal and been forgiven.
@@aaronwalcott513
I don’t think he could have been forgiven. Once he committed that Treachery. That’s Blasphemy. Betrayal. He took his life rightfully so. As sad as this whole situation is. It would have been better he hadn’t been born.
Doesnt really matter what you think. You are basically saying there are limits to Christ's forgiveness.
"As sad as this whole situation is. It would have been better he hadn’t been born." Were you trying to be poetic here ? What does that even mean ? If he hadn't been born, would Jesus still be crucified, would we be able to have the gift of eternal life ? If someone else betrayed Him, what then, we will go into the same cycle of questions ? And the answer is that we do not know and can't possibly know.
@@bigzachful
@@XJKish1 it’s not that there were limits to his forgiveness . Jesus was the way to the father and Judas had rejected him the Christ
I got saved at 30 and ive been letting my sins go since, almost have them all gone as i give my sins to jesus.
I try to but have no clue how to do it or if I have been or not. I try and say my prayers and pray for others, even strangers. I know I sin daily though and am flawed. Anyways I pray that God helps us both out and that Jesus forgives us and purifies us for the Father. Hope that we are healed physically and mentally and spiritually. 🙏
@@HAL--ov4qutalk to jesus the same way you would talk to another person cause he also is a living God he hears , ask him to lead your prayers cause he is an intercessor and then just let your heart out and tell him about your sins and failures exactly as they are , and let go of everything that’s leading you to sin whether its friends, family or whatever cause he says in a scripture “if your hand is causing you to sin cut it off.” Therefore you must be ready to cut off everything that could lead you to temptation
They are forgiven but we never stop sinning in this life. The battle against the flesh will continue until we receive glorified bodies in heaven. We sin far more than we realize. It's not just what we do, it's things we're supposed to do and don't. We are always falling short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
God's love knows no bounds, and His blessings are endless. Let's take a moment to thank Him for the love and grace that fill our lives. 🙏❤
Amin 🙏
..... Except Judas....... And people like him.....
Then you haven't read your Bible. It absolutely has bounds, conditions, and is not endless. People being condemned to hell alone should be enough proof of that but simply read the book of Job.
It’s almost like when pharaoh refused to let Israel leave. As we read he kept Hardening his heart. Then we read later that his gear was harden byGod and God allowed/did this to display his power
It's a sad thing to see someone once a friend head toward their destruction.
Thank you yeshua for your sacrifice I could never betray you im a sinner! I'm not perfect but I am trying and I know you see it!
Remember the purpose of the sacrifice. It isnt because of your goodness, but because God is good, kind, and rich in mercy. We owe God nothing for His gift of grace, but for the regenerated believer, God's love will drive us to holy living, not that we will never sin, but that we confess our sins and turn from them. Just be careful to not allow your works to be your idol. We dont do good because we are good, but rather we do good because God is good. I hope these words help. May the peace and love of God be with you always
Peter and Judas both represent falling short, and yet one goes to Christ for forgiveness, the other tries to return the silver to the pharisee and is scoffed at because it's blood money.
One is faith, the other is works. Both I believe regretted denying/betraying Jesus, only one had faith and was restored.
Mercy❤
Wow, I needed this. Thank you. Amen.
Let's not forget about Peter, who betrayed Jesus 3 times in a row. The difference being that Peter repented and trusted Jesus for forgiveness, Judas did not, that's why he killed himself. He didn't trust that God would forgive him, when the reality is, he will forgive anyone who calls in his name and confess their sins❤
Pretty easy to judge from the cheap seats.... Judas had the same messianic view the pharisee's had they believed the Messiah was the ruling king who would establish his throne on earth and restore Isreal. We can see this plainly when the disciples would openly ask him when he would set up his kingdom. NO ONE of them understood what Messiah was telling them and Peter actively argued with Christ concerning his sacrifice. In fact Yeshua rebuked Peter for saying that.
It was ordained from the very begining (the begining of creation) that Judas would do what he did. I dont pretend to know the intimate details of those born who have a divine destiny that they will play out. In some ways those few dont have the same level of "free will" that the rest of us have. I for one have FAR too much on my own sinful plate to bother looking at another person alive today or who are spoken about in scripture. Paul in his letter to the Philippians says "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13for it is God who is at work in you, both to [j]desire and to work for His good pleasure." We are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling... Which is another way to say, you have no place to judge another and esteem yourself as your brother or sisters betters.
Your (and my of course) righteousness no matter how mature your walk is, is but FILTHY RAGS compare with Gods Standard of holiness. For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Lord Jesus light shineth through our eyes, burning every type of unholiness off our minds, and the word of truth leadus into righteousness and holiness surrounding you, having angels looking over you around-the-clock..
In Jesus' name ✨️

this is how he can understand when we get betrayed by our friends .....love how God did this for us ! Judah thought that JESUS was going to bring the angels down to kill the romans.....not knowing Jesus wasn't going to do it!! he gave his self for us!! (force Jesus hands)!! some of us are judas we know the truth and yet still do what we want....
Ok, when Peter was against what Jesus said about his death; Jesus followed up in MATTHEW
16:23 by saying "Get away from me Satan". I'm assuming that was Jesus' way of saying this is the way it supposed to happen. Sounds like to me that Judas was in a predestined situation that had to be. Think about it, if Jesus told Satan to "get away him" when Peter was speaking against the will of Gods plan, wouldn't Judas' rejection of God's plan be denounced by Jesus if Peter would have done anything other than betray him? I feel Peter is being destroyed for playing a card that was dealt to him and it's not fair. Isn't it said that heaven and earth will perish before God go back on his word? Jesus spoke of Peter's actions before home did it which comes off as predestined.
So the way it sounds to me is when Jesus says "Get away from me Satan" it is more or less Jesus saying we are not going to do things your way we are going to do them my way and saying Judas was predestined to do what he did would be called fatalism or the belief that all events are predetermined and inevitable the thing is though that GOD/Jesus/ The Holy Spirit gave us all free will to what we want to do so fatalism gets shut down right there because you can't have free will if you are all ready being made to do something yet God knowing what Judas would do before Judas did is still not fatalism because knowing something is not fate it is knowledge@@itachihyuga7553
I am thankful JESUS is the judge. One thing I do know is we are all guilty. Surely if we sin after knowing Christ that too is a betrayal of his grace. We’re all utterly dependent on Gods mercy and grace through the shed blood of Jesus. Christ is our only hope for salvation and our only righteousness. I don’t know if Judas repented or what Jesus will decide on judgment day. But I do know we have all failed Jesus and at times betrayed him for a personal agenda, so all our hope is in Christ the mercy of GOD.
Because of the place he will spend eternity in.
Nothing that has ever happened on earth comes close to what hell is like. I think that counts for the majority of mankind. Better to have not been born.
Jesus said Judas "was not saved to begin with." With that statement, makes it clear why he'd say this, but it was to also help us understand how sinful nature is and that not being born is better than forfeiting our soul for the world.
If that's the case, how is it logical to create said person to be born to begin with? Wouldn't you be doing the person a favor if there is infinite knowledge they would suffer a fate worse then death or become evil, especially since it castastrophically effects the entire human race? Just like with Hitler as an example.
Man this is powerful.
Unreal? Bruh your editing is dope, cool you're using all types of media to create this...
Thank you Lord Jesus...for you hold the words of eternal life.
I love Jesus, he is KING
Amen my brother in Christ neme thank you 🙏🙏🙏
He got to see true miracles and still denied him.
Jesus came to fulfill scriptures.Judas also fulfilled scripture. In one of them in psalms the writer condemned the betrayer to hell.
Jesus warned Judas over and over and really Jesus could not force Judas to change his heart.
Scripture tells what’s going to happen it doesn’t make what’s going to happen.
Judas was a thief and a deceiver and probably lived for only this world.
A lot of people when things don’t work out the way they want they just kill themselves .
We all have a free will.serve God or serve the devil. I choose to Love God and I serve Him because of Love,not fear. Perfect Love cast out fear . Be you perfect as God is Perfect . When you receive Christ as your savior God the Father puts His Spirit in you. His Spirit is Perfect,Now you are the Temple of God. Christ in you the hope of glory.
How tf can someone be perfect. Its impossible especially with the memory wipe bullshit going on
Amen! 👍
I'm thoroughly confused by this. Why would that be said about Judas not being born when the betrayal was required for Jesus to fulfill his mission? If it was said he should have never been born, then why was he born in the first place? If Judas was supposed to turn Jesus in which led to the crucifixion, then why say that??? I would hope that Jesus/God one and the same already knew that was going to happen and was designed to happen to save the rest of us. I hope someone can help me understand because I'm disturbed by this. I understand it hurt Jesus emotionally, however, I thought the betrayal has given humanity the opportunity to be saved. Sorry if I seem dumb, im new to the word.
Jesus is master of all!! Better get with him before it’s too late!
For Judas to have been pretty much at Ground Zero for the miracles of Jesus and still reject him seems like not only a physical thing that happened but a lesson to be learned when we are selves are up front and seeing God's glory and miracles that he's done for a lot of us whether it be through a family members healing or a child being born or anything and then we turn our back on God and go the other way or do something bad and wind up hurting Our Father this is pretty much a living experience of that failure as mankind . We have all done it in one way or another, this is the first time I think I've ever seen it this way. I appreciate these videos really opens your mind to the lessons that are being taught in the Bible not just the ones that are easily seen But the hidden ones as well.
Peter denied him three times
How can we fail when we not know what we do. Who does all the puppeting. You think they play nice here 😂
Judas totally believed that he was the son of God. Judas unfortunately was looking for the conquering warrior king (the returning of Messiah at the end of the age.) and did not hear/believe that he had come to be the eternal passover lamb. His actions were meant to force Yeshua to assert his kingly throne and rule over the world. There is no way you could spend all that time and see all of those miracles and NOT believe. God new from the conception of creation that this was the reason for Judas existence (why he was born) God new with 100% certainty that Judas would do what he did. Judas motive WASNT to get Yeshua nailed to the cross, it was to "force or manipulate" Yeshua into over throwing Roman rule and re establish the throne of David as prophecied in several old testiment prophecies. NONE of them, NOT ONE, saw what was about to happen... They all fled. As scripture declares like sheep they have all gone astray.
A very powerful message!
It has never been more important than now to find the Almighty through the acceptance, sacrifice and love of Jesus. The end of days is near. Prophecy is playing out in real time all around you. Don’t be fooled by the false prophets, and never deny his name. Read the Bible and serve God’s purpose for you in this world.
Glory to God he gave us his son to die for my sin ,Jesus you are the truth and the way no one like you
Thank You, Lord Jesus!!!
I feel bad for him now😭😭😭he could have been in heaven with lord jesus right now
Don't feel bad, he is on earth with Jesus and they are besties. But Jesus is very busy breaking seals and getting prepared for the armageddom and can't hang out, call or text
I always wondered about this. Definitely scary to think about
Thank you for this eye-opening and insightful video of Judas Iscariot:s betrayal of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Indeed, Jesus must have been deeply hurt not only by this act of betrayal but also by having to pronounce doom upon Judas Iscariot. May this message serve as a warning against the danger of rejecting Jesus Christ and His love for all mankind.
Great this is rhe first thing I get in my feed after thinking it was better I was not born
I ❤jesus as jesus died for my sins....
Because Judas had the daunting task of betraying Jesus in order for the Salvation work to begin 🙏😢
Judus was waiting for the conquering king messiah that all Jews were waiting for. When Jesus proved that it wasn't his mission many were disappointed to say the least.
Its the same as going to happen in our lifes. Family and friends will sellu out
$
He killed The Messiah for a modern day conversion of $300 (30 peices of silver)...im damn near speechless, smh wow horrible decision!!🙏🏾
The irony of it all is that if no-one had betrayed Christ to ultimate crucifixion, salvation for all the world would never have happened. SOMEONE needed to fill that roll, but woe to the man who did.
That’s about as ironic as it gets, and it’s a bit of a conundrum.
Absolutely, it is the ying and yang type of thing. Light and dark are needed to appreciate their differences. The issue is we lack understanding of the exact meaning of events.
Reminds me of when I read about Cain & Abel but this is so much worse, betraying God’s only begotten Son. Betraying God incarnate. God in the flesh.
The crazy thing is I don't know if I have betrayed Him or not in all the years of my life, I am just so confused. I have been angry at God before, but I always keep returning to Him, but are there too many times that The Father will reject me for my anger?
The LORD Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Consider His words in John 6:37. When Jesus is talking about the bread of heaven, He says that all those who hunger after the bread of heaven He will NEVER drive away. We often times feel hard at God for not giving us what we want or for doing what we want. In 2 Corinthians when Paul was tormented he prayed to the LORD to take away his suffering. The LORD merely replied, “my grace is sufficient for you”. Sometimes we go through trials and tribulations in order for God to demonstrate His wonder working power in miraculous ways. Coming back to Him is exactly what He wishes for you to do and to look to the LORD Jesus for strength. Consider also the words of David in Psalms 3:5.
”Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.“
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
Whenever you feel like giving up or if you feel like God has abandoned you, remember these words always.
Doesnt scripture declare... BE ANGRY but do not sin. Do you or would you punish a 4 year old because he or she is mad at you? Of course not! You as an adult know that the child does not understand the situation like you do and in fact you may privately laugh at their anger not mockingly but because they do not understand or see what you see and your job as a father is to love and protect them. God is INFINATELY more loving and merciful than you or I could ever be!
Read the book of Romans
I’m just asking, but mustn’t the betrayal take place In order to for prophesy to unfold? Are would that be referring it could’ve happened a different way?
Cunu drum, ❤
💥 "AN INTIMATE FRIEND" 💥 TRAGIC💥
Maybe this Jesus message to all of us who do not follow his teachings.
For those wondering about predetermination, it's a serious question and mental gymnastic, but put simply just because God knew Judas would betray Jesus doesn't mean he created him to. Judas made his own choice through his own life, God simply used the opportunity to fulfill his plan. Whether you are going to hell or not is up to you and it's up to you now whether God knows that you will be with him or not. There is no predetermination except for what you predetermine for your own eternal life. And the knowledge that God has about it is simply a given for the all powerful all knowing. Thought this might help someone. I use to struggle with the concept because of the hypothetical idea that if we could pin point an atom in space we could calculate it's future course, essentially predicting the future. Don't be confused about it though, that's not yet scientifically possible and even if it were we are given free will to make that choice for ourselves. Changing the course of our future. Maybe that's the true miracle and power of our spirit and the Will God allowed us to have for ourselves. Imagine that every moment and decision you make is actually shaping your eternity. Far out, man.
jeus thank yro Lvi amen
jeus Thank
It would be better for any person that has to endure eternal torture after this life to have never been born. DUH! That line is also in The Book of Enoch and The Shepherd of Hermas, though those didn't make the cut at the Council of Nicea.
BECAUSE I KINOW IN MY HEART THAT JESUS THE ONLY ONE BEING HURT . IF YOU WERE IN THE POSITION THEY YOU WOULD SAID SO BECASUE HE DO EVIL . SAMOK KAY NG DAUTAN UY LAGOT . AMEN
Our feeble minds will never comprehend the pure logic of God but do not forget God had a Plan and HE chose Judas to be one of His 12 closest.
Now I've always wondered about Judas in the fact that was he appointed to be that guy by divine intervention or was he chosen randomly. And I don't mean like Jesus just chose him out of a group of people I owe any meenie miney moe, I mean was there a possibility that someone else would have done the same thing as Judas or was this his role in Destiny to fulfill? Now I understand why Jesus would say it would have been better for him never to have been born because the idea that he may have been chosen to be that guy for that particular role no matter where he went in his life it was going to lead him back to that same thing is it possible that he could have been someone else? Meaning did he have the chance to believe in Jesus wholly- or was he like sent by Satan? Was he corrupted by Satan or was it just the law of man perpetuated by the Jewish leaders and the Sadducees and Pharisees? Was he stuck under the law of man or was he chosen by something evil or divine
NOTHING God does is Random
What bothers me about this though is Jesus knew from the get that Judas would betray him but he still kept him close. So again was this a Divine appointment that he was chosen for or was it from evil? If it was from evil God or Jesus you would think would have distanced himself from this man. He knew what was going to happen before he ever met Judas face to face. So other than fulfilling prophecy what would the point of keeping this man close by be? Truly I would like to get a reply on this because I know I comment on a lot of these videos and never get any kind of answer. If anybody out there has any kind of outlook on this please inform me let me learn something or at least to see it from a different perspective
Prophecy tells you the future however I don't believe he had to I believe he had a choice
I'm still puzzled about judas because it's already written in the bible that he will betray the Christ.. his fate is sealed
Yes. Some who are born have a divine destiny. Yeshua said that John the Baptist "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Call it divine appointment or destiny but there are a handful of people that were born predestined to play the role they are annoited with.
I agree with the spirit of what you're saying in general, yet I also disagree that this sin is more catastrophic a sin than original sin itself. I would argue that that is the most catastrophic sin ever committed. It was original sin which necessitated not only the Crucifixion, but Judas' betrayal. How can any sin be more catastrophic than that?
Judas Iscariot, is an example of when one chooses to commit a crime against The Holy Spirit in persona of Jesus The Christ. Without Judas Iscariot, the price of Death would not have been paid.
I am a Christian but I simply cannot imagine that Jesus took these words ("it would be better for him not to be born") literally. I mean, how could God let someone be born if it was better for him not to be born? Would it not be cruelty, even towards someone who is so much affected by evil?
I think that as Jesus usally exaggerated his words (for example "if your hand causes you to sin, cut it", or when he talked about the yeast of the Pharisees), this also cannot be a literal statement. He only wanted to say: it will be very bad for Judas if he does this, but it doesn't mean that Judas cannot be forgiven after it. I am not a theologist though, this is just my opinion.
Why are we still responsible for our sins if Jesus died for them?
Great question! Jesus' death and resurrection offer salvation to anyone who believes. If you truly believe he died for your sin, and that he rose from the dead, then you needn't be responsible for your own sins any longer.
Romans 10:9 says 'If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.'
Declaring him as Lord means he is YOUR Lord, as well. So you are committing to study and follow his teachings. If you mean it sincerely, then Jesus' death removes all your sin and you become a new person in Christ. As it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Once you are reborn in Christ, your sin is dealt with, forever. Romans 8:1 tells us:
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
Jesus did die for your sins, so put your faith in him and that debt is paid. God bless!
@@jaelzion perfect response. Thank you for the clarity
To be absorbed into the Beatific Vision of the Father.
Because Yehuda's hell would be one of the worst punishments for betraying Yeshua Messiah.
The statement you are referring to comes from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus says to Judas, "The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born" (Matthew 26:24).
Jesus made this statement because he knew that Judas would betray him. He was aware of the tremendous consequences of betrayal, not only for himself but also for Judas. By saying that it would have been better for Judas if he had not been born, Jesus was expressing the severity of the betrayal and the resulting consequences for Judas's soul. It was a strong statement meant to emphasize the gravity of Judas's actions and the eternal consequences of his betrayal.
One thing I don't get - If Judas was bound and determined to betray Christ, then why did he have remorse afterward? Maybe he was trying to force Christ's hand into throwing off the yoke of Rome and being the universal King of Israel?
Bingo
Bingo too
Judas like other betrayers when setting a person up ,actually grow to truly feel love for the person. Who's being menevolent...
That's why it's deep. As we never know the consequences
Here is a great example for those who believe that Hell doesn't exist. Otherwise why would Jesus say its better that Judas had not been born?? What will his punishment be if there is no Hell?
🚨POSSIBLE TRIGGER ALERT🚨
Ok, when Peter was against what Jesus said about his death; Jesus followed up in MATTHEW 16:23 by saying “Get away from me Satan”. I’m assuming that was Jesus’ way of saying this is the way it supposed to happen. Sounds like to me that Judas was in a predestined situation that had to be.

I feel Peter is being destroyed for playing a card that was dealt to him and it’s not fair. Isn’t it said that heaven and earth will perish before God go back on his word? Jesus spoke of Peter’s actions before home did it which comes off as predestined.
I am definitely opened to others opinions if you care to correct me on my thoughts on this matter.
Proverbs 16:4 - "The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble."
Everything is planned by God even before the beginning of creation. By the verse that I put above, I know that it fully satisfies your question and that you're intelligent to understand it. Spend more time with God(prayer, reading the bible) and you will found more mysteries and revelations.
I believe Judas had many chances to repent or go to Jesus and tell what was in his heart, Jesus knew from the start that Judas would not repent even though he had oppertunity many times, God gives a free will., I think money, greed was in Judas heart and unfortunitly satan had him. Peter loved Jesus but was ignorant in what God"s plan was - Jesus dying on the cross. Peter loved Jesus and would not allow Jesus to be crucified in his carnal mind, remember he cut the roman soldier"s ear off in the garden., I Do not believe in the calvinist theory . As peter repented , i believe Judas could had before it was too late.
@@MrTnewell we don’t know what Judah’s thoughts were. After all, he did throw the money back at the priest out of regrets. For all we know, he asked God for forgiveness within his thoughts & heart. My question to you is, can you alter God’s plan? I’ll wait…
@@jesuslovesyou1497 so, we’re basically living predestined lives?
@@itachihyuga7553 negative.
We can only perceive this as a story or lesson if that is true. That time is past. Most likely none of us knows why we are in 2024 and that is a good question why nobody remembers anything.
If you listened to this and thought to yourself, “man I’m glad I’m not Judas” you better look in the mirror and realize that you are NO DIFFERENT than Judas! We all have betrayed him! Jesus isn’t a petty man child like us, he will forgive us all if we just believe in him!

He probably said that because he loved him but he betrayed him so it probably hurt him so very bad that just like other humans because jesus was half human dont forget but he had feelings too however he sacraficed everything because it was more important so like i said just like other people it probably was just a feeling at the time he said it.
Jesus was full human. He is the son of man
He is a son of man..and a son of God a being of both and of neither
Do you think Judas was the first man saved by Jesus" sacrifice? I'm wondering because at the Last Supper it says when Judas dipped his bread simultaneously with Jesus that Satan entered in to him. The Holy Spirit had not yet come to dwell in men so Satan was able to enter in to him so it was Satan that betrayed Jesus, not Judas. Was Judas possessed? Judas was obviously repententant because he hung himself and the 30 pieces of silver lay at his feet. If Judas was truly in grief over his (?) actions, then why wouldn't Jesus save him? There is no sin outside the rejection of Christ that cannot be forgiven. Just a thought.
Just read the comments. There are too many hateful Christians here. What happened to forgive them they know not what they do. And also for your information, the Jews did not kill Jesus, nor the Romans, it was God the Father and Jesus went willingly to the cross for all of us. Don't let unforgiveness keep you out of the kingdom. As you forgive so will you be forgiven. The worst words a person could ever hear is, "I never knew you"!!
Amen
If Judas hadn't been born, he couldn't have ended up in hell. Surprisingly, if Judas had come to Jesus and repented after he sold Him out, he could've been forgiven. This shows us that remorse is not enough for atonement. Repentance is needed to access the finished work of Jesus Christ.
If Judas was born for this destiny no matter what does that mean that God creates evil men who are destined for hell? I'm just asking an honest question I'm not looking for any kind of negativity but this is something that I'm sure a lot of us have wondered at some point or another and the story of Judas really puts a spotlight on the whole idea around that. Someone the other day had told me something about how God has created hell for wicked men but God created hell for Satan and sin that doesn't mean that God created wicked men to go straight to hell with no chance of knowing him and changing their entire life
Even if Judas had never been born it would have been someone else though right? The prophecy has to be fulfilled so how else would it happen or would it have happened? I'm not trying to justify Judas in any way I'm just trying to understand
Again… someone had to do it. As God knows all, he also knew this was the purpose of Judas. If it wasn’t Judas then it would of been someone else
judas guts fell out of him when he hung himself
$5220.00USD in todays money. One of the first true acknowledgements of a jew selling his soul for money and betraying god for riches.
It is belie
ved by some Scholars that Judas is the beast in the book of revelation. This way God doesn't have to judge him.
Why did Jesus say that Judas should never been born? Was because Judas most like went to hell. But we don’t know right?
Well if Jesus said it would be better if he had never been born, it must not be good for him. But by doing what he did caused scripture to come to pass and thereby saving many souls who will receive Him as LORD and SAVIOR.
My problem with Judas. At the end of the day it was written that Jesus would die. Judas betrayal was meant to happen, he did was God told us that needed to happen. His actions was part of God's plans.
Did he have to betray him?
It was bound to happen either way, but for it to be Judas, one of His disciples made it 100x worse not just for Judas but for Jesus too because He loved Judas.
God's plan did not depend on someone betraying Jesus. The Sanhedrin could have come up with a number of different plans. Jesus could have been taken at one of the times he was alone in prayer. He could have been taken on a lonely road. It was foretold that Judas would betray him because God knows everything that will happen. That doesn't mean Judas was forced to do it.
Another thing to look at here that is both truth as it is fact:
1: Jesus is the one who prepared hell for the devil and his angels were judas through sin chose as his eternal lot.
2:
I remember somebody teaching me Judas was only born for that reason and that’s really his hidden story lore he’s still out here his spirit in other ppl so when someone betrays you know it’s all they waited to do so pathetic and a cowards way to feel important it wasn’t about the silver he wanted to feel important and be remembered like Jesus that was his true sin
Mary was preparing Jesus for his death when she annointed him and cleaned him with her hair.
If not Judas, who then? Someone had to do it for Jesus to die for our sins. Jesus Christ came from heaven to die for our sins in the manner that he did as it was intended by God. Am I missing something here?
I actually have studied this quite a bit, and I really have a sneaking suspicion that the verse that you're speaking of here, was Rewritten into the Bible by some scribe somewhere. Nowhere in the original writing does it say that Judas actually betrayed jesus, the word you says that he turned him over. The other problem you have is that the explanation of how he died by Falling onto these rocks that split him apart, does not wash with what we know about the place that it's supposedly happened and the actual physical reality of somebody who would have fallen there. For him to be split open, somebody would have had to kill him. Murder him. And if he had made an agreement with the Pharisees and sadducees, those that actually were instrumental in the murder of Jesus christ, even though he rose again, it is clear that they put him on the cross on wednesday, not friday, because the very first comment on the very first holy day of that week came at the end of the day that he was crucified on and that would have been wednesday. Because the Passover High holy day was on Thursday. Friday was not a holy day and Saturday was and that would have put him in the grave three full days and three full nights precisely as Christ implied that he would be in the grave just like Judas was in the whale for 3 days and just like Joseph with his in the hole in the ground for three full days.
But if Judas didn't ....then that changes everything and the timing of life itself
Exactly someone had to be the one to do it.
So your saying he was predestined to do it. Meaning we don’t make our own choices free will then…
That’s not the case. Jesus was going to have it happen irregardless because many people wanted him dead. He knew he was going to be out to death
@@bigzachfulmy man, yes of course there’s free will. But also does not God know all things? Was it not Paul that states we were predestined before the world? Was it not God who purposely harden the king of Egypt so his mighty works could be displayed?
Yes there is a choice as humans we have. But like you mentioned if it wasn’t Judas then it would have been another human to turn Christ in. All I’m saying is there had to be a hitler a Alexander the Great, etc
I think of world affairs God son assigned alpha omega human freewily take position probable Nature's, yet Father eternally of causes outcomes make afresh?!
Job said same at his affliction.
As God himself Jesus Christ could look inside of the spirit of every man he purposely chose to be one of his disciples and when he looked inside of Judas what he saw was a man who really would only ever love himself and riches! Jesus knew that Judas love for himself and riches would easily cause him to yield to the devil and do his will to sellout Jesus for what he loved the most which was money at the right appointed time and place! Judas went to Hell because he had a choice to betray Jesus and his choice was to show the Lord Jesus Christ that despite his offer of Salvation that Judas would rather serve Satan and get blood money he knew meant would cost an innocent Jesus Christ his life! That's why it was better for him to have never been born because it wasn't just a regular innocent man that he chose to betray and caused to die!
Here is the controversy: There are those who believe that Judas was always doomed from birth and that he was specifically created to do what he did and betray Jesus? The truth is no man is born simply to be destroyed in Hell. When Jesus Christ looked in of every disciple through the eyes of God he saw men who would love him, serve him, and give all for him, except one guy and that guy was Judas!
Judas was a guy that only loved himself and he only cared about himself coming up and getting wealth and nothing or nobody could come between that self love! Not even if God himself stood before Judas bestowing all the eternal love in Heaven and depended upon Judas to love him back even God himself couldn't compete with Judas love for himself and money! THIS IS THE VERY REASON WHY JUDAS WAS CHOSEN! Judas was specifically chosen for his selfishness and his love of money and the specific fact that at the end of the day no matter what Salvation in eternity Jesus Christ was offering that Judas selfishness and his love for money would be Judas choice over Jesus and Jesus needed to use that in order to get to his appointment on the cross when the time came! That's why Jesus never called him out on stealing the offering money!
(On a side note this is the same reason why it looks like God doesn't have a problem with these filthy rich mega church preachers being worth mega millions while there are people sitting in their ministries in utter poverty because they serve a greater purpose as they they choose to STEAL FROM GOD and at the appointed time they will receive their reward!)
So again Judas was put on the team because Jesus Christ could see his character and unlike any of the other's Judas was the only man with a cutthroat mentality ans Jesus needed a cutthroat who would choose to stay a cutthroat and stab him in the back when the time came!
The immense suffering in the lake of fire (hell) is horrible. Various levels in hell based on one’s sins is horrible but necessary due to judgement severity. And any length of time in hell is going to be horrible.
But unending torment is not so and not justified. Judas will suffer immensely, and more than most because he gave up the most valuable person in the universe to be slain, God the Father’s Son. But like sinners, sin and Satan, at some point must be fully consumed and will be ashes underneath our feet. Malachi 4:3. Satan and his followers (root and branch) will be consumed in the lake of fire (oven) and become as stubble Malachi 4:1. Lessening what Jesus had to say (warn) about hell is not good, because it’s terrible but let’s not throw shade at Jesus and God the Father’s character by claiming our Elohim’s have made a place for unending torture. Who could live in Heaven knowing that their family is going to be tormented for an unending time period? Where is the Justice the promised? The soul that continues to Sin, will eventually die the second death, as it is written.
If Jesus died for our sins and we are forgiven why not Judas be forgiven? Judas made it all possible so he’s kind of hero
If Christ's sacrifice was long prophesied, then Why "shoot the messenger?" Somebody had to do it, right ? What if no-one had betrayed Christ ? That's a good question.
You Can’t change what has been written all you can do is accept it and pray to God that it wasn’t you in that messenger shoes
God's plan did not depend on someone betraying Jesus. The Sanhedrin could have come up with a number of different plans. Jesus could have been taken at one of the times he was alone in prayer.

Taking artistic liberties and giving Judas glowing ears 😄 It is possible to make quality videos that people will watch without giving characters fictional piercing red eyes (example) or glowing ears 😆
ONCE YOU SEE GOD'S MIRACLE AND YOU DONOT BELIEVE IN THE GOD OF MOSES. YOU ARE FRIED.
I like your videos but please remove those kind of thumbnails
Judas Iscariot did nothing on his own. He acted according to the scriptures to accomplish God's plan for our salvation.
Because had Judas repented for his betrayal and asked for forgiveness, he would have received forgiveness from his sins and been able to see eternal life in paradise, he should not have committed suicide, but sought forgiveness. Judas played the role that was needed to be played.
